EXCLUSIVE FEATURE: INTERCUT MAGAZINE PREVIEW

First up, Intercut editor Yvonne Farrow, an independent filmmaker herself, reviews Before You Shoot by Helen Garvy.

Before You Shoot: A Guide to Low-Budget Film and Video Production is a fantastic book for those who want as little drama during the production of their film or video shoot as possible.  I used it as a guide during the pre-production of one of my short films and later received kudos from my grantor as one of the most well organized filmmakers they had ever awarded.  They even used my post production reports as examples of excellence for those applying for the scholarship/grant the following year.  A detail-oriented person to begin with, I wanted to do my best and why wouldn’t I?  Someone was giving me money to make the dream of producing my first sync-sound super 16 short film a reality!  I didn’t want to blow it not sweating the details.
